When I worked for an organization which delivered meals to the elderly, I would take along my four year old daughter. She was always fascinated by the appliances of old age - canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. One day I saw her staring at a set of false teeth in a jar. She said to me, "The tooth fairy will never believe this."

hahahaha kids say the funniest things sometimes!

Great for you taking your daughter so she can see and understand things. The more exposed she is to "life" the better prepared she will be when it is time for her to make her own way

Thank you for the unexpected chuckle, madisgram. Works almost as well as morning coffee for a bit of energy.
